 When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and

then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has

come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kick-

back and can place down the machine securely.

 Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect con-

dition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ-

ence the cut, or lead to kickback.

 Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side

pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-

aged, break or cause kickback.

 Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are

hidden in the work area or call the local utility company

for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire

and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-

sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or

may cause an electric shock.

 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-

ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete

stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and

lead to loss of control over the power tool.

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.

 Do not direct the light beam at persons or animals and

do not stare into the light beam yourself (not even from

a distance).

 Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw

blade can fall out and lead to injuries.

 The saw blade should not be longer than required for

the intended cut. Use a narrow saw blade when sawing

tight curves.

 When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such

a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by

the ejected saw blade.

 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,

some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to

one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-

piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing

asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable

for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the

materials to be worked.

 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can

easily ignite.

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

 The restarting protection prevents uncontrolled start-

ing of the machine after a power failure. To restart the

machine, set the On/Off switch to the off position, and

then switch the power tool on again.

 The contact protector attached to the casing (see fig-

ure 15, page 192) prevents accidental touching of the

saw blade during the working procedure and may not

be removed.

 Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building mate-

rials etc., check for foreign objects, such as nails,

screws, etc. and remove them as required.

 Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such

as wood, gypsum board, etc. For plunge cuts, use only

short saw blades.

 The metal overshoe prevents the plastic footplate from

being scratched up, especially when sawing metal.

 Adapt the settings of your power tool to the respective

application. For example, reduce the stroke rate and or-

bital action when cutting metal or for tight curved cuts.

 When working small or thin work pieces, always use a

sturdy support or a saw table (accessory).

 In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as far

as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently and in-

stall a residual current device (RCD). When working met-

als, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the power

tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be impaired.

 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA

approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be

cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-

thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug

should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains

socket elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current

device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
